Welcome to Issue 24. When I last wrote, all was rosy in the garden, we were on a glide path to the play offs. Nigel was God, Nick Pope ran him close. We failed in the play offs, the rest is history, In fact repeated history. Bright prospects for the new season gave way to a play off hang over. Like Martin Foyle before him, Nigel didn’t get the same responses from his players and resigned in October. Reality bites. Last season, we struck lucky with our mid season signings. This year, we don’t appear to have had the same luck. I’ve got to say signing defenders from teams that finished in the bottom half of Division 2 and 2 players from relegated Shrewsbury never got the juices flowing as I watched the World Cup. Maybe this is the level we’re always doomed to operate at. Certainly, our history tells us that we struggle to hang onto our better players. Think of your favourite City player. Who replaced him? Keith Walwyn – Dave Buchanan; Dean Kiely – Andy Warrington; Clayton Donaldson – Chris Beardsley. Get the picture? Need I go on? The reality is that we just can’t afford a replacement of equal standing. We can strike lucky once, not twice. Of the 4 favourites above, only one cost us any money, and that was a pittance, but once they outgrow us we were in trouble. Others, such as Clayton Donaldson, James Meredith and Lanre Oyebanjo all outgrew City and moved on, all leaving on a Bosman free. Without a sheik or oligarch we have to live within our means, even then we are indebted to the McGill family who continually put money into the club to keep us a float. Thank you. Enough looking back. Let’s look ahead for a moment. Bury (away) very soon, again towards the end of December. Anyone who was there last December could easily sum up the game in one word. But it also demonstrates how quickly fortunes can change. Let’s hope we can start another surge at Gigg Lane next week. new frontiers – Issue 24 – Page 2 It will always be Gigg Lane to me, no matter what the sponsors might say. As an aside, how depressing it was to watch the FA Cup Round 1 and Round 2 coverage and see some of the stadia names. Proact Stadium, Community Stadium, Merseyrail Community Stadium and Lamex Stadium included. PS Due to a heavy 6 week dose of man flu, this issue if late in hitting the bookshelves much later than intended. Sorry and apologies if in places it reads a little dated. I left the original comments about Jake Hyde unchanged, but I’m really hoping with his recent goal rush, he’ll prove me wrong.

Articles / ideas / input / criticism always welcome. ……………………………………………………………… Did anyone else note a great similarity between a YEP article on November 6 with something YCS and new frontiers ran in the past which mixed words of City’s great cup exploits with youtube clips of the action. YCS and new frontiers, pioneers as ever. new frontiers – Issue 24 – Page 3 Nigel Worthington – A Big Leap Forward I’m writing this Nigel Worthington appraisal before I even write his welcome piece. Yes, there were some clamours for his departure, but even so, the end came very swiftly. Was it just 4 defeats in 29 games (make that one win in 17 and you’re closer to the truth), a post play off failure malaise or just a feeling of was it all worth it? On his arrival, NW rallied his troops once to ensure we survived our first season back in the Football League. A year later, NW took us to the play offs. You could say his side had a dour playing style or some of his signings were dubious (or worse). No one could disagree with either viewpoint. Once again, this season, we struggled to impose ourselves on our opposition and struggled to score goals. We were dour, but equally we were generally well organised and difficult to beat. Think of our run last season, we went to all the top teams and came away unbeaten. You could question the wisdom of some of his signings, but you could do the same with any managers’ signings. Look at Wes Fletcher, Josh Carson, Keith Lowe, John McCombe and Russell Penn and you see the core of a good team. At the start of 2014, I questioned the wisdom of giving 3 of them contracts for the next 30 months. So far, they’ve generally proved me wrong. But, I would question again why he gave so many players 2 year contracts in the summer of 2014. Quite rightly, he would say they were his first choices and he did what he needed to do to secure their signatures. So far, in the main, they haven’t lived up to their billing. Tony Straker indicated that one of the reasons he joined City was the offer a 2 year deal rather than the one year extension on offer at Southend. With 3 Bosman frees, maybe 2 year deals swung the deals. Where I might have a bigger problem is the number of free transfer players signed on 2 year deals. If press reports are to be believed, in the summer we signed 8 players on deals that run to 2016 (or 2017). A word of caution though, Sander Puri was widely reported as having joined on a 2 year deal only to leave after one year. Maybe he was paid up to leave, press reports were wrong or the deal was actually one year with a one year option. Personally, I’d be inclined to say to prospective free transfer signings, take a one year deal with an option on a second year (which depending on the deal might be new frontiers – Issue 24 – Page 4 triggered at City’s request or the player playing a set number of games). After all, it’s a buyer’s market with so many players on the free transfer list. See also page 9 Towards the end of his reign, NW appeared Thought for another time. Are City frustrated that his players (and our supporters) too easy on were unable to show in their managers? Towards the end matches the good work of Gary Mills reign, he still maintained a large backing, likewise they’d been doing in with NW, there were very few training. Perhaps, he supporters calling for his head. wasn’t the first manager to be able to get his players going again after play off failure. Perhaps, the hard knocks of the first week of the season when we conceded late result changing goals in each of our first 3 games were more decisive than we first thought, draining the confidence out of himself and the players. 2 players NW paid money for were Ryan Bowman and Jake Hyde. I used to applaud buying the cream of the Conference (when we were in the Conference) but I wonder nowadays as its professional league, whether the rough diamonds are still there to be unearthed at £20k a pop? Maybe the non league value is lower down the pyramid with players who are not playing professionally. I suspect his legacy maybe more that during his time we’ve raised our league status and standing. When he addressed YCS in March 2014, he spoke about how he found a club that wasn’t properly set up for The Football League. He put some of our 2013/4 success down to instigating a weight training programme which made City a more physical side. Off the pitch, his spell coincided with the arrival of Andy McMillan and Richard Cresswell onto the staff, plus the appointment of John McGhee as General Manager. Their work has yet to bear fruit but its a sign that we’re moving forward. Its strongly believed that NW only agreed to sign a permanent contract in the summer of 2013 when City committed to multiple upgrades to our Wiggington Road training complex. In the summer of 2013, three months after arriving at the club and staving off the nightmare of relegation back to the Conference, prior to signing a permanent contract, NW outlined his vision for the club.
